Centennial Park is a riverfront recreational space situated along the Mississippi River in downtown Davenport, Iowa. The park features a 15,000-square-foot concrete skate park designed for all skill levels. It serves as a trailhead for the Riverfront Trail, a multi-use path connecting several regional parks. The grounds include open green spaces, picnic areas, and direct views of the Mississippi River. The site was redeveloped as part of Davenport's riverfront revitalization efforts. Visitors can access public boat ramps near the park boundaries. The park layout incorporates paved walking paths that follow the riverbank. It functions as a central venue for local outdoor recreation.
